the cut of it was criminal for the state to do that for us. we reach a lot of students during the summer school and in this after-school programming. we realize that it looks like it's a back-fill. and it looks as though we will come to you every year. but i want to assure you we have systems in place. we will not see these high numbers again. i think that all members at the school system were shocked to see these high numbers. we knew some students were not achieving but not in a year-and-a-half see 2,000 students not on track. and we know that education is a social responsibility for all of san francisco. that's why today we come to you with this request. we believe that high school graduation is the one determining factor for violence prevention in this city. and it's also who determines who will live here and raise a viable family in the 21st century. this is an opportunity that we reach out to you for these students, without your funding they will not graduate in the year 2014. deputy superintendent is here to answer any questions. >> oka

you can't use tax credits and you can't use, you know, hud loans or senior housing programs. but then we did allow explicitly in 2010 the projects could use cdlac which is the california debt allocation committee bond financing available with the state particularly coupled with 4% tax credit to build their inclusionary unit, as long as they built more units and at a deeper level of afford ability. the reason we allowed that funding is because it's less competitive than other funding. we felt there was plenty of it out there and also we're getting more units at deeper affordability. we went ahead in 2010 and exempted these projects from inclusionary housing program thinking that their monitoring procedures were too much in conflict and learned after that there is no reason to exempt them, we can handle it. and their procedures can be synchronized. but more importantly, we don't want to lose the long-term affordability of these units. this is 4% tax credit unit are not restricted for a longer period as the inclusionary units. the inclusionary units are now restricted for the li
